The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[Cynthia12]

I would like to join the hatch a long. What info do I need to give to join?

I set my eggs, 33 total. Paint Silkie/showgirls, CCL, Sapphires, White leghorns, Isabelle leghorns, project blue duckwing leghorn, BBS Barred Rocks and BBS Copper Marans.

Very nice! Have to ask..BBS Barred Rock?

My eggs arrived also.

I got a dozen barnyard mixes from @Myfourladies and they all came in awesome shape and packed really well. I'm not sure what is going to hatch from them but that is half the fun! I haven't candled them yet, but I'm excited to do so!

I have five eggs in the incubator already. I'm not sure what day they are on because I took them out from under my broody hen when I gave them her chicks. They're probably about half-way to hatching.
I'm hoping to incubate these twelve shipped to me and a few of my own for the EHAL, so probably around 12-20.

Very nice Gita! Barnyard mixes are fun to hatch. I also love hatching the EE's and OE's for that reason. They change a lot as growing. Fun to watch.

There's BBS Barred Rocks???

Yup, so the black and blue look as expected. I think I got a splash from the last batch I did 3 weeks ago.....

Awesome!! So they just don't have the barring or? Got any pics of adults? Awesome!!

Was wondering the same and they posted one pic earlier but i am also curious like you and would love to see adults and cant even really imagine blue and black on a barred rock. To be expected on other bbs breeds but cant picture it on barred rocks hah

Ok, see your answer here. That's amazing.

Also wonder if maybe they mean Plymouth Rock instead of specifically the barred variety? But they seem knowledgeable so I am sure would have said that if that were the case. Just can't imagine them being BBS and Barred hahah unless maybe it is a project they are working on?
